4、stical Society of AmericaApproved 19 May 2000American National Standards Institute, Inc.AbstractThis American National Standard describes procedures for measuring the performance of noisediscriminating and noise canceling microphones. The signal-to-noise ratio is measured at 1/3 octave bandintervals
5、 with the desired test source in a diffuse noise field. The noise canceling performance of themicrophone is defined as the noise canceling index (NCI), a weighted summation of the signal-to-noiseratios. The NCI of the microphone under test can be compared to the required baseline NCI of a laboratory

These committees have wi
7、de represen-tation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, and general-interest representatives). The Standards are published by the Acoustical Societyof America through the American Institute of Physics as American National Stan-dards after approval by their respective standards com
8、mittees and the AmericanNational Standards Institute.These standards are developed and published as a public service to providestandards useful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State,and local governments.Each of the Accredited Standards Committees (operating in accordance wit
9、h pro-cedures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and main-taining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secretariat administerscommittee organization and activity, and provides liaison between the AccreditedStandards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have
10、 been produced andadopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as AmericanNational Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for theirpublication and distribution.An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially con-cerned with its scope and pr
11、ovisions. Consensus is established when, in thejudgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement hasbeen reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreementmeans much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consen-sus requires that all
12、 views and objections be considered and that a concertedeffort be made toward their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary. Their existencedoes not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved theStandards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, pu

19、ing Microphones, ANSI S1.16-2000.Noise canceling microphones are used in numerous applications where improvedsignal-to-noise ratios are important for speech communication and/or other audioapplications. Arrays of microphones connected together by hardware and/or soft-ware can also improve the signal
20、to-noise ratio. This Standard addresses theneed to have a standard methodology to measure the performance of these typesof devices.This Standard was developed under the jurisdiction of Accredited Standards Com-mittee S1, Acoustics, which has the following scope:Standards, specifications, methods of
21、 measurement and test, and terminologyin the fields of physical acoustics including architectural acoustics, electroa-coustics, sonics and ultrasonics, and underwater sound, but excluding thoseaspects which pertain to biological safety, tolerance, and comfort.At the time this Standard was submitted
